About the author
Naomi Jacob
101 books4 followersNaomi Eleanor Clare Jacob was an English author, actress and broadcaster. Daughter of Nina Abbott.
The British lesbian author Naomi Jacob (1889-1964) had been a teacher, a suffragette, a playwright and an actress, but ultimately achieved her greatest success, beginning in the mid-1920s, as author of some 75 popular novels, plus women's magazine series, advice books and at least one biography. She moved to Italy (where a significant portion of this book is set) in 1930, and at one time reportedly had an unrequited crush on Una Troubridge, longtime companion of Radclyffe Hall. (In Diana Souhami's biography of Hall, Ms. Jacob is described thusly: "She was Jewish, large, wore tweeds and clubbish ties and liked a drink.") She is remembered today best as -- well, actually, she's barely remembered at all.

Brought tears.
I love reading about this family. But, sometimes the stories seem too impossible. However, I will continue to read all of them!
